Frequent Crashes To Desktop

>Problem:

During mapping my client will freeze for a few seconds then crash to desktop with no error message or log. This seems to occur at completely random times and does not correlate to any specific content (such a breach or mirages). Sometimes it will happen after an hour, sometimes it will happen 2 minutes into a map. I am using the skill holy strike and I only mention this because there have been other threads regarding crashing using the skill.

I wish I could provide more information but I can't seem to recreate the crashing by doing something specific. It seems random to me and there is no crash log or anything out of place in the PoE logs.

I did not experience this crashing for the past 3 leagues that I played extensively and my hardware and OS have not changed.

>Specs:

OS: CachyOS
CPU: Intel i5-12400
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3050
RAM: 16gb
PoE installed on an SSD

>Troubleshooting Done:

Swapping between vulkan and dx11 (and basically every other setting)
Updating nvidia drivers and trying with downgraded versions
Increasing shader cache size
Clearing config/shader caches
Verifying game files
Reinstalling game
Changing proton compatibility versions
Tested RAM and CPU for faults
(will be testing mapping without holy strike)

If anyone has an idea or recommendations, please let me know, this is killing an amazing league for me.

Its something to do with Holy Strike. I have been experiencing the same issue with crashes to desktop and have heard from others playing the skill they are experiencing it.

Same here, holy strike is crashing my game frequently to desktop, i believe it has something to do with movement skills because the minions react weirdly when you use frostblink, maybe not, but holy strike is for sure the cause of crashing from what i've heard from a lot of people now.

Similar issue with game crashing multiple times per hour seemingly randomly.
Had no such issue two days ago with hotfix 9 patch and prior, the crashing begun after it.

Running steam version via proton expertimental.
Using Vulkan renderer.
Have tried clearing shader cache.

Well damn, just found this post and I am also playing holy strike, experiencing the exact same issue, sometimes I'm not crashing for hours and sometimes I crash 3 times per map, it's just atrocious at this point

I'm only using Leap Slam and I am also experiencing the crashes so it's not connected to just Frost Blink in particular

Still crashing without using any movement skills SIGH

DX12 random crash to Desktop without Error.
New Windows + Game Installation.
Game runs as Admin.
All driver up to date. Game Terrain is Medium, Sound is Low.
The cache has been emptied several times.
Problem since 3.26
Hardware is the same since 3.25 or 3.24 don't remember exactly
regardless of whether it's 4k or 2k Resolution or something between
Problem is so random, sometimes 4 per Hour, sometimes 1 in 3 Hours.
Different Characters with different Gems.
Vulkan didnt crash but with the, nealy endless, Cashe generation/load it runs/feels like ♥♥♥♥.

Windows 10
14900k
4090
64gb Ram
No overclocking

I am also experiencing the same hard crash to desktop.

I've done all the normal finagling to get it to lessen or stop but it's gotten worse.

I'm playing smite / shield charge for a movement skill, so I don't think its skill based.

Same issue here, but I'm playing smite of divine judgment
